If you mix these in equal portions, you'll get a depressing neutral brownish-gray mess. The colour is called "gyaaaah", it's dead and it has no depth or personality. You don't want to paint with gyaaaah - nothing in nature is that colour, except maybe inside a septic tank. Afterthought: crayple is a good name too.

Actually, what you're doing is mixing a primary with its compliment, and that's done specifically to create neutral grays.

Instead, try equal proportions of yellow and blue, then add a smidgen of red. You'll get a toned-down grayish green, perfect for shadows in landscapes.

Now experiment with some other 50/50 combinations and see what happens... have fun!

Are you mixing these in equal percentage?

Depending on what percentages of each color you use you could come up with some very interesting variations of brown, from Mars Yellow to Violent Oxide to Orange Oxide to Burnt Umber Light. Just go easy on the blue until you get the hang of it. Too much blue will give it a muddy grayish-blue look.
